I confess this fact freely along with the fact that I am a conservative, NOT a republican, who I view today as nothing more than "get along to go along" establishment class types, vying with the Democrats for who can get the most face time on the alphabet MSM outlets.
I've watched as many of the debates as possible (not to mention stomachachable, heh) and I've had some real good laughs! Boy, can we really throw a party or what? I'd bet a dollar to a dozen donuts that we'll be seeing lots of those nifty zings in opposition commercials come the fall.
Throughout the whole mess, Santorum has kept his powder dry with the exception of throwing barbs at the current incumbent, he of questionable lineage ( but alas, a story foe another day) . He has steadfastly focused on what this election is truly all about: " IT'S THE POTUS STUPID!"
Romney is NOT the one who the Dems want to run against. He's just as organised and well financed as 'the Anointed One" and is tall, handsome (women will read virile) and just as good a smooth operator as "The One".
Gingrich on the other hand, is a froppy looking fat guy with a Howdy Doody puss that cracks me up every time I see him waddle up to a rostrum. While Newt has many +'s, his baggage outweighs his attributes. He's a lightening rod for controversy, and I truly fear giving him the "nuclear football", which is akin to giving him the keys to the family vault. Not that I think he'd be donning Gladiator gear the next day after being elected, but he will be itching to get into it with the Iranians if he is given the chance. I'm not sure we need that right now unless is unavoidable .
Ron Paul? LOL! Well, he's Ron Paul. The man seems nice enough but must have stepped through a gamma impulse ray back in lab at med school, because some of his ideas are really out there in moron land.
He so reminds me of Ross Perots running mate back in the 90's. He was this old Navy Admiral (name of Stockton I believe) who seemed to be someplace else during the vice presidential debate that year. It was funny as hell, but sad at the same time. Seeing one of our national heros, in his golden years, being allowed to make a total ass of himself in front of the nation on national television. I STILL feel embarrassed about having watched the damn debate after all these years, because I felt so bad for that old man and what he was putting himself through, asumming that he knew what was going on to begin with.
That debate, like ALL Vice POTUS debates, was a farce and a joke and should have spelled the end of this nonsense once and for all. It accomplishes zip, zilch, nada.
Of course it did not and we are still subjected to the boredom of a Vice-POTUS debate every four years. Gosh! I just CAN'T wait for this years verson starring current Vice- POTUS, and just plain ole'
Joe/LOVABLE GUY Biden, versus some JIVE ASS, PUNK ASS homeboy, oppressor of the "MAN" on/of the street, the proloteriot, if you will.
In the end, it won't matter a Mitt....err...a wit because the "Establisment" heirarchy has already decided to anoint Romney and come hell or high water, they will find a way to do it.
Arizona's primary is February 28th and I've given it a lot of thought and watched a lot of debating between them good folks (as previously mentioned above). I've been looking for the guy or gal that was a true conservative, and Mr. Santorum fits that bill better than what's left standing. He has very little baggage, if any, is young, articulate, and he has a vision of where he'd like to lead this country. Maybe he can begin to heal and fix the mess that Obama has been making since January 20, 2009 when he began the class/race war that he's been spinning since Day 1.
So, that's who I'm going to support with my vote and we'll see what happens.
You guys all have a great day! GOD Bless!
